[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Most of the kids that have died have been Black and Brown. Agree schools are not prioritized right now, but let's not dismiss the BIPOC kids who have died from this who will continue to bear the brunt of this. [/quote] Way to miss the forest for the trees. If you are so concerned about Black and Brown kids, how about re-opening schools. Much more harm is being done to minorities from lack of school than from COVID. [/quote] Studies show, pollings hows, and FCPS own numbers show that minorities are not going to return to in-person school. The schools with the highest distance learning percentages are minority schools. This is because minority families have been disproportionately affected by COVID. And minority families are more likely to have multi-generational homes. And minority families are more likely to need siblings to watch siblings. The wonky school schedules and lack of before and after care programs are going to prevent older kids from going in-person so they can be home to watch younger siblings. There are many reasons to push for schools being open but the educational gap is not one of them because the kids who are the most behind are the least likely to return to in-person learning.
